Review: This BB cream from the established Korean cosmetics brand has a creamy, almost silky, texture. As with most BB creams from Korea, the shade is on the light side, but this offers good coverage. The finish is dewy.

Overview: An editor favorite with a good range of shades for Asian skin (including deeper tones) and an innovative application tool.

Coverage: Medium

Shades: 6 (from 01 Porcelain to 06 Maple)

Price: $35

Benefits: In addition to hydrating and protecting, this BB cream is formulated to be applied with Cailyn’s BB perfector (purchased separately), a vibrating tool with antibacterial puffs to “buff” your way to perfection.

Review: The formulation has a medium-light texture that sinks in fast on skin. It leaves a nice, dewy finish. The 02 Sandstone shade is more olive than golden, and it doesn’t leave a pale, masky look. It’s a good color for East Asian skin. One of our favorites.

Review: Our intrepid male tester was a newbie to BB cream, but he liked the way the Miracle Skin Transformer smoothed and evened out his skin, without obvious color or coverage. The slippery, primer-like feel left a matte finish that looked natural.

Benefits: Instead of a tint to cover, this BB cream diffuses light with high-tech pigments. SPF 20 to protect, Pepha®-Protect helps inhibit DNA damage, Vitasource™ and dGlyage® firm skin and improve elasticity. According to their clinical study, after eight weeks of use, 93% of participants had significantly firmer, more lifted skin, 84 percent had a significant improvement in fine lines, and more than 84 percent had significantly smoother and more hydrated skin.

Price: $34

Review: The cream is a peachy color, which is totally different from any other BB cream we’ve seen. It goes on rich and smooth, and dries to a matte finish that is very modern and really nice. The coverage is a little sheer for those looking to mask spots. One interesting note: this gives you a slightly peachy tone, which may result in a slightly darker color for some, or a nice brightening effect for others.
